Overview

On a campus that is itself an expression of 20th and 21st-century art, the Art History MA program, Modern and Contemporary Art, Criticism, and Theory, provides a unique academic experience, which values the making of art, as well as its interpretation and critique in modern and contemporary culture.

Key facts

The two-year curriculum explores the critical background of 20th and 21st-century art and visual culture. And through MA colloquia, we introduce students to the world of some of the most prominent critics, artists, and historians working today. Immersed in a rigorous exploration of art history, its methodologies, and challenges, students prepare to engage in contemporary debates as scholars, critics, and museum professionals.

Whether transitioning into a second career or just starting out, our students come from a wide range of backgrounds. A typical student entering the Art History MA program does have a background in the field, but we encourage students with different backgrounds to apply if they show a demonstrable interest or related experience and are willing to fulfill prerequisites in order to complete the program.
